Commitment Card: Thank you to everyone who has already returned a card. If you have not yet turned in your 2026 Commitment Card, there’s still time! Every gift—of every size—helps Grace remain a place where faith grows, neighbors are served, and lives are changed. Additional cards are available in the narthex.

You can bring your card to worship, mail it to the church office (P.O. Box 425, Richmond, IL 60072), or email your commitment to office@gracelutheran1.org.

Outreach Café is this Sunday (10/26) from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. 100% of the proceeds are donated to five missions of our church: Habitat for Humanity, a homeless shelter here in McHenry County; Veteran's Path to Hope, local food pantries; and Good News Kenya. It is a great opportunity to have breakfast and get to know each other a little better. The Outreach Cafe is made possible by the financial support of Thrivent Financial and by the people of Grace.

First Communion Classes: Grace’s next first communion class will be November 9th following the 9:30am service. Children will be able to receive their first communion on November 16th during the 9:30am service. Grace has no age requirement for when a child may receive their first communion. For more information or to register, please contact childministry@gracelutheran1.org

WELCA Meetings: WELCA meetings are held on the second Monday of the month at 10:00am in Luther Hall. All women are invited to attend.

Confirmation and Sunday School Continue: Confirmation and Sunday School are now meeting each week. Sunday school during our 9:30am worship service and confirmation Wednesdays at 5:30pm.

Music Ministry at Grace: We are seeking more folks to become involved with music at Grace. If you are interested in sharing your voice, instrumental ability or have no musical background but would like to learn how you might be involved, please contact Tara at jzzldy8@sbcglobal.net  There are opportunities to help lead the weekly hymns, sing with our choir, or help provide special music on holidays, as well as for Sunday services. All are welcome, ages 12 and up [younger considered], and no level of experience is required. And you need not make a long-term commitment.

If you can support Grace through your offering, we would be grateful. You can give to Grace online through this link (https://rb.gy/tnkhvf) or by mailing your offering directly to the church (P.O. Box 425 Richmond, IL 60071).
